Alex gave a quick glance to Jordan and Crystal, before turning around. For a split second, she actually thought in just moments she'd be laughing at some sick prank.
She was wrong.
Outside of the car, a tall yet thin guy wearing a black jacket, and most disturbingly, a white mask. The teeth were a far too bright white, with a large grin spreading across the entire dace. The part that unnerved Alex the most though, was the cheekbones that extended outward far too wide.

Crystal hugs up close with Alex, taking sets back away from the masked man. From behind them, four more masked men come out of the other cars.
"Ah!" Jordan yells, two men grabbing him by his arms, pulling them behind his back. He bucks like an angry steed, and one of the attackers, who has a red and black devil mask on, jerks him violently.
"Jord-" Crystal cries out, before having Mr. Cheekbones cover her mouth with a gloved hand.
"Ow!" Jordan falls, gripping his ankle.
"Get up!" Devil Mask grunts, pulling him up by his shoulders.
"Just drop him." Mr. Cheekbones says in a monotone, bored voice. "He's not going anywhere."
"Shall we begin?" One of the men laughs, pulling out a knife, shining dimly in the moonlight.
It was clear that this was not a prank. Alex could hear Crystal's muffled screams behind her as she stared at Devil Mask hovering over Jordan. A guy with a wearing a white suit and mask- the one holding the knife- handed it over to Devil.
"Perfect." Devil laughs. Alex could picture a wicked smile behind the red plastic. He points the knife directly at her, "Eeeny..."
Alex just stared wide-eyed at the blade.
Devil shifts the knife towards Crystal, who's face was streaming with tears. "Meeny..."
"What are you doi-" Alex yells, before getting hit in the back of the head by Mr. Cheekbones.
Devil kicks Jordan, causing him to whimper. "Miney..."
White Suit whined, "Can you hurry up?"
Devil holds the knife up, pausing for dramatic effect, looking around to find "Mo."
"Just pick."
His knife points to Alex. Her heart drops, and her normal cocky bravo turns into sheer panic. Just as she was about to freak out, he shifts the blade to Crystal. "Mo."
